This morning, the Today Show did one of their TV show reunion segments, and the focus was on the cast of Eight is Enough. And I’ll be damned if Grant Goodeve, who played oldest brother David Bradford, hasn’t become one distinguished daddy! When the show began in 1977 and I was only eight years old, I saw those blue eyes, that thick feathered head of hair, that open collared denim shirt revealing a fuzzy chest, and I was like, “I want HIM to be my big brother….” Now that I get what those thoughts were all about, I still want him to be my big brother…from another mother, of course. Lord, Grant me one Goodeve with him!
I can’t believe how hot he still is! He barely aged. He HAD to have work done, but it was really GOOD work, because he doesn’t have that plastic, perpetually terrified look that Bruce Jenner has.
